Have 21 New Facts About The Upcoming Book Of Demons

Book Of Demons

A release date for Book Of Demons is now listed as the game leaves Early Access and plans for Book Of Demons to hit many platforms continues

It looks like Book Of Demons will be coming out of Early Access here soon and everyone can get in on it this December 13th. That is if you have not already been helping Thing Trunk with the game by playing in the EA already and seen what this hack-n-slash title will be bringing to the PC. At least on that date as it does look like Book Of Demons will be heading over to the Xbox One at some point in the future. In addition, “other platforms” after that if you want to read more into where you will be able to play this little game. My guess is on every platform at some point. We will have to wait and see.

To go along with that announcement, for those who are not familiar with Book Of Demons, we have a new trailer to show us twenty-one facts about the game to get us in on it. Overall, it looks like if you were a fan of the original Diablo and looking for a stylized 2D hack-n-slash then you will be all about this game. Especially since most of these facts for Book Of Demons, including the extras in the text, point back to that title as the bigger inspiration for it all. Therefore, I guess we can just call this a different version of that game and see if it sticks. We will know here soon though…
